Well worth the watch, stumbled upon it last night after getting bored with FOX and other crap on TV.

Never cared much for across until I saw a video of one of his hits. Some of the clips in the video were from a concert where he was on stage wearing a vintage Houston Oilers #34 jersey — from the legendary Earl Campbell. I started to become a fan. LOL.

In this episode I rediscover the greatest guitar solo that is inaudible from this classic song.

I really liked ‘Sailin’ ‘ when it came out. Joni Mitchell is an interesting guitar mentor. I had a girlfriend in the 70s who studied Mitchell’s guitar style... she used atypical tunings to come up with all sort of unique effects... really opened my eyes to how ‘different’ Mitchell was.

I tried to like the guy but he double-dealt me over my purchase of his crucifix statue, while expressing great anger..

I call it the “Cross Chris Cross cross crisscross.”

I used to hang out with Chris back in the day in Houston when he was in a band called Heather Black. They played in Houston downtown in old Market Square..

That was an interesting interview. Think I saw it a couple of weeks ago. Beato is great.

How very interesting! What an intelligent man, and to hear that he considers himself a fan of Bach as well, is mind-blowing. I was fortunate to hear him perform Sailing live in 1980 or 81 as part of a larger revue with many artists. He really hasn't changed much in looks in all those years!

My favorite is “Think of Laura”. My daughter’s name was Laura, and it describes her perfectly. I cry every time I hear it.

Comedian Richard Jeni had a bit that went like this:

“So, I went to go see Christopher Cross the other day because…….somebody had to. And there we were. Me and Chris.”

This Beato interview is dated "a month ago" on YT. Chris was seated, and we saw no evidence one way or the other of what he went through in 2020:
On April 3, 2020, Cross... tested positive for... COVID-19... but was recovering. Cross later reported... that he had lost the use of his legs, but his doctors told him he should fully recover... his COVID-19 disease triggered an episode of Guillain–Barré syndrome that caused the nerves in his legs to stop functioning properly. By October 2020, he was able to walk with a cane, but said his memory and speech had been affected. In 2021 and 2022 he played his 40th anniversary concert tour, which had originally been planned for 2020.
